Don't eat a "fair" amount of potatoes, pasta and whole wheat bread unless you are extraordinarily active lifting weights and doing cardio every day. Even if a foodstuff is whole wheat grains it still adds up to a *ton* of carbs, probably way more than you need. Whole wheats are good for you and should be substituted for white bread in all instances, but that doesn't mean one should eat a lot of that stuff. If you are pre-diabetic you would do better to eat very minimal amounts of heavy carbs in conjunction with lean meats, fibrous vegetables and some fruits.
